FirstHand stories from real XIAFLEX® patients

Every patient has a story. Watch Ed Shipley share his experience with DC and XIAFLEX®.

How XIAFLEX® works

DC is caused by a buildup of collagen under the skin in the palm of your hand. This may cause the tissue to thicken and form a tight, rope-like cord. In time, the cord may tighten, causing the finger to bend inward to your palm.

XIAFLEX® is injected directly into the cord and works to break it down.

If you still have the cord, your doctor may try to extend the treated finger(s) to “break” the cord and try to straighten your finger(s). Your doctor may use a local anesthetic during this procedure.

WHAT IS XIAFLEX®?

XIAFLEX® is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with Dupuytren’s contracture when a “cord” can be felt. It is not known if XIAFLEX® is safe and effective in children under the age of 18.
